PROPERTY:
Document::cookie
document.cookie[
= "expression(s)"]
This property is a
string that returns a report detailing all visible and un-expired cookies
that are associated with the specified document. The value returned using
this method only contains the name and value attributes of the associated
cookies in a single string.
When setting the cookie property, which can be
done at any time, the following syntax must be used:
"name" = "value"; expires = "date"; path = "directory"; domain = "domainName";
secure
The "date" parameter must be in the format as returned by the toGMTString()
method of the Date object. The expires attribute
is optional; not setting this will mean that the cookie will expire when
the user shuts down their browser. If set, the cookie survives until the
set expiry date. "domainName" sets the cookie's visibility to a particular
domain although this attribute is rarely use as it defaults to the domain
of the carrying document and visibility of the cookie is normally restricted
to this document alone. The path parameter is similar to domain in that
it restricts the cookie's visibilty to the specified directory on the
web server. The secure attribute is less commonly used. It is a Boolean
(true or false) that, when true, suggests that the browser should only
make secure (SSL) URL requests when the cookie is sent to the server.
Code:
document.write(document.cookie)
